CLASS MIDPOINT
Class 35-39
Using limit. Lower class limit + upper out of 2.
Same for boundaries
34.5+39.5
Steps to Draw a Pie Chart:
Angle of a circle =360 degree
1. Find the Total of the Category Values: Add up all the values to get the total 2. Calculate the Angle for Each value Use the formula: Angle of value= value/total value x 360
When done,add all new values and check if they sum up to 360!
Finding Percentages and Fractions
How do you find percentage or fraction of a value?
• Percentage = (Value ÷ Total) × 100
• Fraction = Value ÷ Total
What formulas do you use for pie charts if given:
Angles?(are shown on the pie chart.)
🔹 If Given Angles
• Value of 1° = Known Quantity ÷ Angle
(If angle isn’t tied to anything, divide by 360)
• Unknown Value = Angle × Value of 1°
• Total Quantity = 360 × Value of 1°
• Fraction = Angle ÷ 360
• Missing Angle = 360° − (Sum of known angles
What formulas do you use for pie charts if given: Percentages(are shown on the pie chart.)
If Given Percentage
• Value = (Percentage ÷ 100) × Total
What formulas do you use for pie charts if given:Raw numbers (are shown on the pie chart.)
- Add all values to get Total
- Use:
• Angle = (Value ÷ Total) × 360
• Percentage = (Value ÷ Total) × 100
- Use:
Finding:
•Amount of Money / Value
Missing angle
Fraction of an angle
- Angle/360 x total amount/value
- 360-(sum of known angles)
- Angle/360
Should you leave spaces in drawing bar chart?
Where is the x axis and yaxis(frequency axis)
No
Xaxis is the horizontal line. Yaxis is the vertical line.
Probability formula
Number of favorable outcome/Total number of outcome
How do you label the x-axis when using class boundaries in a histogram?
Label all the boundary values in order:
• e.g. 9.5, 14.5, 19.5, 24.5
Each bar stretches from one boundary to the next, and bars must touch (no gaps).
🧱 Bar 1: 9.5–14.5
🧱 Bar 2: 14.5–19.5
🧱 Bar 3: 19.5–24.5
What is mean,median and mode
Mean =average
Median= middle
Model=frequent
Formula for mean
Sum of values/number of values
Formula Ex/n
Formula for normal or direct numbers
Same as mean. Sum of all values/number of values.
Ex/n
Formula for mean with unknown number (one missing number)
Multiply mean x total counts
Add the known values and substract from the total of mean x total count to get the missing number
Combining two groups
Sum of group 1 + sum of group 2/ adding of average scores
Sum of groups = mean x total count
Correct a wrong value or Finding correct average
- Calculate the original total:
Total = Average × Number of values - Adjust the total for the wrong value:
Correct Total = Total − Wrong value + Correct value - Find the corrected average:
Corrected Average = Correct Total ÷ Number of values
MEAN FROM A FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION TABLE (Direct Method)
When to Use This
Formula
Use this when data is given in a frequency table — like scores or ages and how many times each appears.
x=Efx/ef
Where:
• f = frequency (how many times a value occurs)
• x = the value itself (for ungrouped) OR midpoint/class mark (for grouped)
• fx = multiply each value by its frequency
• efx = total of all fx
• ef = total frequency
Assumed Mean Method
When to use
When the numbers in the frequency table are large or spread out, class intervals,the Assumed Mean Method makes calculations easier.
x=A+efd/ef
Where:
• A = Assumed Mean (choose any class midpoint close to the center)
• x = class midpoint/the value if there’s no class intervals
• d = x - A = deviation
• f = frequency
• fd = frequency × deviation
• efd = total of all fd
• ef = total frequency
When there’s no assumed number given and it’s just large numbers but not intervals how do you get the assume
You get the assume from the values(x)(mark,scores,age….
The middle number
Steps to find median
- Arrange numbers from smallest to biggest.
- Count how many numbers (let’s call it n).
- Check:
• If n is odd:
Median position = (n + 1) ÷ 2
→ The number at that position is the median.
• If n is even:
Median = (middle 1 + middle 2) ÷ 2
From Grouped Frequency Table (Class Intervals)
Use full median formula:
L+(n/2-cf all out of f) x class width
• L = lower boundary of median class
• N = total frequency
• CF = cumulative frequency before median class
• f = frequency of median class
• c = class width
Median From Ungrouped Frequency Table
Use cumulative frequency to locate middle item
• Follow:
1. Find ef = N
2. Calculate N/2
3. Find class where that item lies
4. Read off the value (not the frequency)
